What means cystography?
Cystography is an imaging test that can help diagnose problems in your bladder. It uses X-rays. They may be X-ray pictures or fluoroscopy, a kind of X-ray “movie.” During cystography, the healthcare provider will insert a thin tube called a urinary catheter and inject contrast dye into your bladder.
How do you do cystography?
Your cystoscopy procedure might follow this process:
- You’ll be asked to empty your bladder.
- You may or may not need a sedative or anesthetic.
- Your doctor will insert the cystoscope.
- Your doctor will examine your urethra and bladder.
- Your bladder will be filled with a sterile solution.
- Tissue samples might be taken.
What is metallic bead chain Cystourethrography?
Chain-bead cystography involves the passage of a radiopaque chain transurethrally, with a portion of the chain piled just within the bladder at the urethrovesical junction.
What does TURBT stand for?
Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT)
What can a Cystourethrogram show?
A Cystogram is a procedure which demonstrates the urinary bladder. It shows the shape and position of the bladder and, in children, can also be used to demonstrate if reflux is occurring (Reflux is the backward flow of urine from the bladder back up to the kidneys).
What Neobladder mean?
Neobladder reconstruction is a surgical procedure to construct a new bladder. If a bladder is no longer working properly or is removed to treat another condition, a surgeon can create a new way for urine to exit the body (urinary diversion). Neobladder reconstruction is one option for urinary diversion.
Who does a cystogram?
A Cystogram is an examination that takes pictures of your bladder and urethra and is performed by a Radiologist and assisted by an x-ray technologist. A thin flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through your urethra into your bladder.

What is included in static cystography?
During static cystography, contrast material is instilled into the bladder through a Foley catheter, and various views of the full bladder are taken along with postdrainage views. This examination is usually indicated in cases of suspected bladder rupture, lowpressure vesicoureteral reflux, or a vesical fistula.
How is cystography used to diagnose bladder problems?
Cystography is sometimes combined with other procedures. For example, cystourethrography images the bladder and the urethra. The healthcare provider may also use fluoroscopy to watch how the bladder empties while you urinate (voiding cystourethrography).
What is the difference between cystography and X-ray?
Cystography may show whether any urine backs up into the kidneys (vesicoureteral reflux). Computerized tomography (CT) cystography is sometimes used following trauma or recent surgery. X-rays use a small amount of radiation to create images of your bones and internal organs.
